After reading the Wired article, <a href="http://www.wired.com/2015/02/on-the-joy-of-mastery">Why We Should Design Some Things to
Be <i>Difficult</i> to Use</a>, I finally realize that Emacs <i>should</i> be hard
to use, and we really should just give up changing it to be easier
for new-comers.
</p>
<p>
This quote sums up my 20 year experience with Emacs:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
[Fujifilm took] the controls out of deep menu functions and putting
them back on chrome knobs that just beg to be twiddled.
</p>
<p>
I bought a Fujifilm X100 two years ago. It was the first piece of
technology Id bought in 15 years where I had to read the
manual. Actually, Ive read the manual at least four times. Now Im
taking the best pictures of my life, and I love it. By being hard to
use, my X100 made me a better photographer.

Seems like Emacs users are now in some elite club where the hazing
ritual amounts to learning Lisp. Consequently, Ive decided to start
signing all my Emacs-related correspondence with:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Yours in Emacs,
</p>
<p>
Howard
